About This Item

Grenoble: Chez tous les Librairies de la ville et des départements, 1868. First edition. Original publisher's green paper covers. Titles to the front cover and Imperial crown to the rear. Almost spotless but for a tiny mark to the front cover and a very small (5mm) closed tear to the front edge. Beautiful hand coloured caricature by Fleury of Napoleon stepping from Elba to Paris in a single step. He is holding the tricolor flag in one hand, and in the other a sword and an olive branch. He is watched by various members of the royal family, equipped with telescopes, each uttering a sentence as memorable as " As water, water everywhere !" or "This man will make his way"... Only Berry suggests "Let's wage a little war on him" In excellent condition bar a touch of darkening to the page edge. Unintelligible signature in ink to the verso of the engraving. 8 pages uncut. An excellent example. 325 by 250mm (12¾ by 9¾ inches). . Première édition. Couvertures originales en papier vert de l'éditeur. Titres sur la couverture avant et couronne impériale au dos. Presque sans tache à l'exception d'une minuscule marque sur la couverture et d'une très petite déchirure (5 mm) sur le bord avant. Magnifique caricature de Fleury, coloriée à la main, représentant Napoléon se rendant de l'île d'Elbe à Paris d'un seul pas. Il tient le drapeau tricolore dans une main, et dans l'autre une épée et un rameau d'olivier. Il est observé par différents membres de la famille royale, munis de télescopes, chacun prononçant une phrase aussi mémorable que "De l'eau, de l'eau partout !" ou "Cet homme fera son chemin"... Seul Berry suggère "Faisons-lui une petite guerre". En excellent état, à l'exception d'un léger assombrissement de la bordure des pages. Signature inintelligible à l'encre au verso de la gravure. 8 pages non coupées. Un excellent exemple. 325 x 250 mm
